It came just weeks after Wayne was arrested for public intoxication at a US airport shortly before Christmas.

It's not the first time the pair's marriage has been tested by the sports star's boozy antics.

Back in 2017, Wayne nearly broke the relationship up for good when he was caught drink-driving the car of a woman he picked up in a club.

He and Laura Simpson had spent the evening together drinking and chatting before leaving in her Beetle.

Wayne was convicted of driving while almost three times over the limit and was handed a two-year driving ban, 120 hours of community work and £300,000 in fines from his former clubEverton FC.

Coleen, who at the time was pregnant with their son Cass, eventually forgive her errant husband, but admitted in an emotional public statement that they'd spent time apart.

In a post on Facebook , she wrote: "I know I would be fine on my own, with just me and my children, but I don't want to live like that, I want to try and continue our marriage and live as a family, because that's what I want to do.

"I'm not saying everything is fine and forgotten about, but we are as good as can be at this point, I'm not the type of person to put a show on and say we're all loved-up…. I'm just real."
